Q801 How can I use history.go(-1) in a text link?

Either:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function back() {
    history.go(-1);
}
//--></SCRIPT>

<A HREF="javascript:back()">Back</A>

Or:

<A HREF="default.htm" onClick="history.go(-1)">Back</A>

Even easier to just use:

<a href="javascript:history.back()">Back</a>

or:

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Back</a>
